THE AUSTRALIAN DOMINION PROJECT.
[PJJB FBESS ASSOCIATION.]
Sydney, November 13.
The Hon. P. O. Fysh, Premier and Chief Secretary of Tasmania, has written to Sir Henry Parkes, the Premier, a letter which is regarded as expressing the opinions of the colony, supp orting the proposal for a Federal Council. Mr Fysh Bays that Sir Henry Parkes* scheme is larger than necessary for the defence of the colonies, and while there appears a desire to*, have Parliamentary discussion on tho subject the fact that the Federal Council exists should be remembered, and it is possible to work through it to a broader federation. He suggests that a Conference, composed of the members of tho Federal Council — say, four from each colony, including New South Wales— meet to agree to a resolution and decide at once tho bast form m which to submit a scheme of federal defence to the^several Parliaments, and from them to the Federal Council. In his reply Sir Henry Parkes says that the time has already come to complete federation, and the matter of defence would only lead up to other questions of national importance.
